Protests continued in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities, on Sunday.
Hundreds of thousands are demanding that President Viktor Yanukovych and much of the rest of the government resign.
On Tuesday, Yanukovych signed an economic treaty with Russia, despite the mass protests against even the idea of his doing so.
He did so after repeatedly pledging to sign an agreement with the EU.
Protests have been taking place for over a month now, with crowds as large as
two hundred thousand, in Kiev's Independence Square alone.
Many Ukrainians worry that Yanukovych is taking their country back under
Russian influence and fear a loss of their independence from their
former Soviet masters.
The protests gained steam after
three former presidents backed them.
Police were unable to clear out the protesters
earlier this month, and their failure had been followed by Yanukovych promising to get back to working on the deal with the EU.
However, his once again breaking his word has only heightened the calls
for his removal from office and led to many to call him a traitor and
warn that he should never return to the country.
The opposition had called for the government to replace him, but their lack of movement on the issue has led to calls for their removal as well.
So far, the protests have been almost completely peaceful, but that could change as anger continues.
